Eco-Team

Eco-Schools is an international award program that provides a framework to help embed sustainable practices into the heart of school life.

Our children at Hollymount are the driving force behind Eco-Schools and, with the guidance of a teacher, they have formed an 'Eco-Team' and decided which environmental themes they want to address and how they are going to do it. A range of initiatives is already in place including recycling, composting and a gardening club. There are also plans to create a wildlife area and to look at the school's energy use.
